I realized I needed a better bag to carry Gerald around. We tried the True Value hardware store, but no luck. Then, we went shopping at Vintage Variety on 1st Ave in Atlantic Highlands, and the owner found a really cool vintage 70's plaid school bag for Gerald. It's the perfect size and he can sleep in it.


While shopping in the store, Gerald met a girl...a troll. She was trying on shoes. Gerald started following her around the store.



I then picked up Gerald's first souvenir, a pin that says "Bad to the Bone". Gerald thanked the store owner and we left to take a break.

Updates from last year...

Long awaited old updates :-/

Gerald's been really busy since he arrived. We took him out for Italian food at Ciao Bella's last night, but he didn't care for any of the specials.

This morning, we took Gerald to "walk the boards" along the ocean in Long Branch. We did about 2 miles then he took a break.


Gerald met surfers and they let him "lawn surf". They were packing up and didn't want to go back in the water, but they thought about it!


On the way home, we needed to pick up BF's daughter's car at the tire place. Gerald couldn't resist kicking a few and wound up getting tangled up in a pile of them.

Ambulance ride-along!

Gerald had a good day today....... He did his Ride-a-Long with St. Francois County Ambulance Dist. today!




I think he liked the ambulances too. Kinda hard to get into when your only a foot tall though...



He really did like the sirens....



Not sure if he liked going on a "City Trip" though. He wanted to see the Arch. This was as close as we could get today...




He is going to a Football game on Friday night...
